Be a volunteer

The LAA is in large part volunteer-driven. In 2017, over 760 volunteers contributed approximately 10,500 hours to support daily operations and event, among other activities.

It’s astounding just how many people from all walks of life come to the LAA to give their time and talent as volunteers. From college students to business professionals to retirees to people who have just arrived in Atlanta from other countries – they come to the LAA to make a difference, and they absolutely do!

Behind every LAA program and event is an army of committed volunteers. Direct service delivery, special events, steering committees, outreach and administrative support – they do it all. Did you know that in 2017 the Latin American Association worked with 762 volunteers who contributed a total of 10,041 services hours?!
